Could another nation declare an American citizen one of their citizens and thereby make him/her ineligible for the presidency? For example, in the last election if Panama passed a law declaring McCain a citizen of Panama would he then not be eligible to become president if he won?
If that’s the case, then any foreign power could disqualify any US presidential candidate. Just wondering.
I’ve been saying this forever on these threads. Obviously this would have to be considered when this country finally defines “natural born.” One cannot just blanket disqualify candidates who have citizenship conferred upon them. We cannot control what foreign governments might do.
Iran could have thus conferred citizenship on George Bush and he would have had to step down from the presidency.
